The occurrence and properties of strange modes and associated instabilities in massive stars are reviewed. If applicable, strange modes may be classified by the maximum of the opacity they are associated with. Whether they are still present in the limit of vanishing or infinite thermal timescales – which corresponds to the NAR and adiabatic approximations respectively – is another criterion for classification. A model for the instability mechanism of strange mode instabilities is discussed.
